Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE WOULD EXPERIENCE INTERMITTENT LOSS OF THE ELECTRICAL TO THE GAUGES AND INTERIOR LIGHTING. THE GAUGES WOULD SWEEP TO ZERO AND THEN MOMENTARILY SWEEP BACK. THE LENGTH OF THE LOSS OF ELECTRICAL IS INCREASING WITH EACH INTERMITTENT FAILURE. TWICE NOW THE VEHICLE HAS ALSO LOST ACCELERATION WHEN PULLING OUT OF AN INTERSECTION CAUSING A POTENTIAL COLLISION CONDITION. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED IT ALSO OCCURRED WITH A LOSS OF ELECTRICAL TO THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND INTERIOR LIGHTING. THIS IS A POTENTIAL SERIOUS CONDITION AS THE VEHICLE MAY HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN A COLLISION DUE TO THE LOSS OF POWER. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY WITH THE FORD DEALER UNDERGOING DIAGNOSTICS. *TR
